Milford Chronicle.
Says the Wilmington Sunday &ar.-
Aside from the real merits of the
action Of the court, last week, in turn
ilgdOwn a number of liquor sellers
Who had applied for a renewal of their
license, there is a substantial moral in
TIE transaction. During the COnstitu-
nOnal Convention campaign, last fall,
the liquor interests of the city were ar
nyed almost sOlldly against a cOnven-
ton. The dealers were told by those
presumed to be in position to know
what they were talking about, that il
ihey did not work against a cOnven-
ton they would be in danger of losing
heir licenses. And this did work
against convention. They worked
hard, and probably made a difference
